Psalm 46:10

I work in health care.  It is one of the most rewarding jobs, and at certain blips in time, one of the most painful jobs.  People will frequently say "don't get involved", "don't get attached".  These people must not work with others.  I am called by my faith to get involved and attached.  I am called to help those I work with and those I serve. 

It's times like now, the blip, when I have a full understanding of Psalm 46:10.  God is God.  God is sovereign, and despite the circumstances of life--he holds the keys to life (mine, yours, everyone else's).  One of my patients has cancer and is in a downward spiral of health.  The cancer won't be what takes her life, everything else shutting down in her body will.  Another one is the caregiver for her husband.  She just had a significant stroke.  She needs to learn to slow down, while her husband (also stroke survivor) needs to learn to push himself more.  Then my other patient, well, in the midst of trauma she has found Christ.  God is in control, and will handle each of these lives as He sees fit.  The amazing thing is despite me and my existence -- in the end He has already handled everything, for He has prepared a place for each of them and me in His palace.

I'm hoping for a king sized bed and a huge bath tub.
